PERDIDO KEY, Florida -- The Sports Bar of Perdido Key is definitely more of a locals' hangout than a tourist attraction, but if you enjoy a solid burger smothered with lots of chunky, creamy blue cheese, you'll find it a worthwhile stop on your next trip to the coast.

The burger comes served with a mountain of blue cheese crumbles, onions and bacon trapped under a slice of provolone that holds everything together until your first bite. After that, you're going to want some napkins as the melted blue cheese will find ways to escape to your hands, face and possibly your shirt.

If you're not into colored cheeses, The Sports Bar offers more traditional burgers, as well as sliders, wings, nachos, sandwiches and more. I highly recommend the onion rings as well.

The Sports Bar is located in the Villagio shopping center, right across from the beach and within a short drive of several public beach access points.
